If you're having friends over, then don't hesitate to make this hearty dish made with succulent ham, smoked sausage and hot pepper sauce.

An easy yet tasty black bean salad that has corn, cherry tomatoes, sweet red bell peppers and pumpin seeds, is tossed with a light and refreshing vinaigrette.

This relish is based on a prize-winning English recipe of more than a generation ago. It is less sweet than traditional chutneys; most of its sweetness comes not from sugar, but from apples, dates, and parsnips. I generally use Winesap apples but any well-flavored, crisp eating apple will do.
